Myrtle Beach Is Dangerous

We don’t need a crappy web site like that to let us know that crime is off the chain down here. It is mainly opportunistic crime in a small tourist town pretending to be a city, where the “powers that be” have driven off so much of the main business. That means that the few tourists who are around this time of year (including snowbirds) join with the residents in being targets of choice. The perps themselves, contrary to the tale that is often told, are fairly racially diverse.

Some of the crime does not get reported in the media at all. Recently there was a small crime wave in the upper-class Pine Lakes area. A very significant spike in the number of homes and autos broken into in that one area. This is happening with more and more regularity, yet when it does the only way you’ll know about it is if you listen to the scanner or go to the local scanner sites. It doesn’t make the papers and it doesn’t make the 11 o’clock news on TV.

Why is any of this significant? That’s easy: Because it reveals the Big Lie we’re constantly being told by our civic and business “leaders” and their bought media. They tell us that the ad tax is working. In fact, the chamber wastes inordinate amounts of that ill-gotten tax money on a constant barrage of propaganda to that effect. Yet businesses continue to close down, adding to the unemployment, homelessness and crime. In the past, this was mainly hitting the less “upscale” neighborhoods. Now it’s everywhere. And while other comparable resorts on the east and gulf coasts are recovering fairly well from the national economic recession, Myrtle Beach alone lags far behind them, and far behind even the rest of Horry county.

Tom Rice himself was a major contributor to this sorry situation, with his zealous leadership of the “Take Back May” movement that drove away hundreds of thousands of loyal repeat tourists who had pumped an untold number of millions of dollars into the local economy each year. Yet he was rewarded by his masters at the Dunes by being sent to congress.

And the beat goes on.

I believe he saw a Spike Lee joint

dwb: There’s an adage (invented by me) if you are nothing but a cliche, you may be worthless…you prove that adage….

Here’s the kind of information that many of you would like to have us all ignore: Rice is already being pegged not only as a centrist but actually as THE furthest left Republican in Congress – with six Democrats on this tracking chart being more conservative than he, and one of them being even with him.

Remember when Alan Clemmons attacked Andre Bauer for using “dirty tricks” in a campaign spot that feature actual footage of an interview with Rice, where he made a statement to the effect that he is more of a Graham moderate than a Demint conservative?

Ha ha! Maybe Trillion Dollar Tom’s dirty little secret all along was that he was actually much more of a Democrat in Republican drag than good ol’ Lindsey.

To those of you in the 7th who voted for him in the general election simply because he had a R by his name, and trusted that he was going to be at least somewhat the tiniest bit a true champion for fiscal conservatism:

You’ve been HAD, suckers! (And he didn’t even buy you dinner first or leave you any money on the dresser.)

Constantly saying that Obama is my hero does not negate the fact that I’ve consistently made statements on FITSNews, Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere such as the following, in a comment made in a comment on this blog back when I was still a Democrat (but by no means an ObamaPod):

/// … he’s too far to the authoritarian left, near-communist end of the spectrum — and that is not how he was sold to the American people.

As POTUS he sucks worse than Carter, and that’s some major suckage. It’s not about race, that’s stupid. Millions of his former supporters didn’t just wake up one day and say “Ooops, I didn’t realize he was black.”

Hell no! Axelrod sold America a bill of goods. People are just now waking up to the fact. Buyers remorse, on a massive scale. Not a pretty thing.

Saw it coming before he was elected. Tried to tell my fellow Democrats. They mocked and attacked me. So screw ‘em. And screw him too. ///

Don’t you see that consistently saying things about people that are provably untrue makes you look like a friggin’ idiot with your head firmly ensconced way up your nether orifice?
